Opus Kink

1 upcoming festival

Brighton's brass-blasted jazz-punk cabaret — sleazy, sweaty, superb, like the house band for a bar you shouldn't be in.

Opus Kink are a band from Brighton, England, formed around 2017. They build their songs on horns as much as guitars, mixing post-punk rhythms with brass arrangements that pull from jazz, klezmer and cabaret, and the vocals are delivered in a hoarse, half-spoken bark.

Their recorded output has come mainly through EPs and singles, but the group's reputation rests largely on live performance, where the arrangements loosen and the horn section pushes the songs toward something closer to a raucous revue.
